List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (E)[edit]
- Nominator(s): MisterBee1966 (talk)
I am nominating this article for A-Class review because of similar lists listed as A-Class articles. Thank you for your comments. MisterBee1966 (talk) 05:25, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Support: with a couple of comments:
- according to the Featured article tools, there are no dab links, ext links all work (no action required);
- some of the images appear to have alt text, while others don't. It is not an A-class requirement, but you might consider adding it in to make it consistent (suggestion only);
- I currently only have a very limited amount of download available, so I haven't checked the licences on all of the images, but please make sure that they are all correct;
- in the Background section, I think you need some commas here: "The first enactment Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 1573 of 1 September 1939 instituted the". For instance either side of "Reichsgesetzblatt I S. 1573";

- in the Recipients section: "Of the one-hundred-and-eighty-eight awards made". I think it would be better to present this as: "Of the 188 awards made..."

- "Heer members received one-hundred-and-twenty-six", as above it would probably be best presented as "126" (but not if you implement the suggestion below);
- done MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:14, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- same for "twenty-two" (22), "fifteen" (15) and "forty-one" (41);

- this sounds awkward to me: "Heer members received one-hundred-and-twenty-six of the medals, six went to...". I suggest: "One hundred and twenty-six Heer members received the award, while six went to..." AustralianRupert (talk) 13:57, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I assume you mean not to implement this change if I implemented the "one-hundred-and-twenty-six → 126" chnage? Correct? MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:14, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- G'day, yes that's right, although I think it would sound smoother this way rather than the other. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 10:45, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Support I had concerns about an earlier list, but this one is good. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:49, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support with a few fussy comments:
- "for a
wide rangemultitude of reasons"? - "the Heer (Army), Kriegsmarine (Navy) and Luftwaffe (Air force)" Shouldn't the German words be italicised because they're not used often in English (maybe except for Luftwaffe)?
- don't know. On another review, I forgot which one, the reviewers did not want italics. For sake of uniformity I would like all the same. MisterBee1966 (talk) 15:39, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Why isn't "E" italicised as per WP:WORDSASWORDS?
- "[Dr.] Ernst Ebeling" "[Dr.]" shouldn't be linked?
- I don't understand "[Dr.] Ernst Ebeling" links to "Ernst Ebeling". what do you mean?
- Why isn't "Oberkommando der Wehrmacht" italicised? Also, can you do something about the ranks in the table? The words aren't common. IDK, that's what I think should be done, but I'm not sure with guidelines, if there are any -- please point them out to me if I'm wrong.
- See above, please. MisterBee1966 (talk) 15:39, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Support. Another professional article in this epic series, and up to the same high standards as the others.
- No dablinks found
- External links are fine
- Reflinks also fine
- Prose is good, only one comment:
- "This indicates that historian Veit Scherzer has expressed doubt regarding the veracity and formal correctness of the listing." I'm not sure what "formal correctness" actually means.
- Image licenses seem good; no other concerns. EyeSerenetalk 09:30, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
